Your "source" is the Daily Mail. That means what is written should be taken with a pinch of salt.

One of the great forgotten 80's movies.

No need to click the link, cause I know it's a Beter Off Dead quote.

Quite possibly my favorite movie.

Children are being abandoned on Greece's streets by their poverty-stricken families who cannot afford to look after them any more.

Youngsters are being dumped by their parents who are struggling to make ends meet in what is fast becoming the most tragic human consequence of the Euro crisis.

It comes as pharmacists revealed the country had almost run out of aspirin, as multi-billion euro austerity measures filter their way through society.

Athens' Ark of the World youth centre said four children, including a newborn baby, had been left on its doorstep in recent months.

One mother, it said, ran away after handing over her two-year-old daughter Natasha.

Four-year-old Anna was found by a teacher clutching a note that read: 'I will not be coming to pick up Anna today because I cannot afford to look after her. Please take good care of her. Sorry.'

It is all sad, but in all fairness, nothing the US has not done for years in your own country, including during the boom and I don't recall you posting about it.
